EDGE OF THE WORLD

Lyrics

Verse 1
Another day waking up, another fight in my head,
Another night miles away from the life that I left.
Home feels like a picture that I carry in my phone,
Wife and my daughters, but I’m sleeping here alone.

I left my country chasing something better for the family,
Now I’m counting every minute that this distance takes from me.
I smile when they call, say, “Daddy’s doing fine,”
But they don't see what it costs me every single night.

I built my life with my hands, every brick, every scar,
Came from nothing, kept moving, made it this far.
But every step forward feels heavier than the last,
Like life keeps changing the rules every time that I pass.

I gave my time, my energy, gave everything I had,
Sometimes I wonder if they even know the price of that.
You sacrifice your years just trying to make things right,
Then turn around and realize you sacrificed your life.

Hook
How much can a man take before the walls cave in?
How many times can you lose before you stop believing?
I’m fighting every battle that nobody ever sees,
Trying to hold my family while I'm falling to my knees.

I’m far from home, but home is all I think about,
World going crazy and we’re all trying to figure it out.
They push you to the edge, then ask why you changed,
Maybe I'm just tired of surviving through the pain.

Verse 2
And work? Man, don’t get me started on that shit,
You give them everything and somehow you're still not it.
Favoritism in the room, selections already made,
You can bust your ass for years and watch somebody else get paid.

They tell you, “Keep working, your time is gonna come,”
While decisions get made before the process has begun.
You watch the same faces getting chances every year,
While you're standing in the corner thinking, “Do they even see me here?”

And the worst part ain't losing, I can handle defeat,
It's knowing sometimes the game ain't played fair in the street.
It's smiling at people who wouldn't smile when you fall,
Then wondering how much disrespect one man can take at all.

Ungrateful? Yeah, sometimes that's exactly what it feels like,
You give them your daylight, they take away your midnight.
You solve their problems, carry pressure on your back,
Then one mistake and suddenly they forget everything you had.

How much can a man take before the walls cave in?
How many times can you lose before you stop believing?
I’m fighting every battle that nobody ever sees,
Trying to hold my family while I'm falling to my knees.

I’m far from home, but home is all I think about,
World going crazy and we’re all trying to figure it out.
They push you to the edge, then ask why you changed,
Maybe I'm just tired of surviving through the pain.

Verse 3
And look around the planet, tell me what the hell we learned,
Another war on the screen, another city getting burned.
People talking about peace while they're feeding the fire,
Power, money, politics, everybody wants something higher.

Hypocrisy everywhere, everybody knows the truth,
But nobody wants to face it when the truth gets close to you.
We say we're all human, but we choose who gets to matter,
Then wonder why the whole damn world keeps getting sadder.

A mother loses children, somebody calls it strategy,
Another family disappears beneath somebody's tragedy.
We watch it on a screen while we're eating dinner at night,
Then change the channel like everything's gonna be alright.

How do I survive a world that forgot how to care?
How do I stay sane when there's suffering everywhere?
I got problems of my own, but I still feel their pain,
Maybe that's the curse of having too much heart in your veins.

Bridge
And I know I'm not perfect,
I know I've made mistakes.
But I've been carrying this weight
For more years than I can say.

Sometimes I wanna scream,
Sometimes I wanna disappear,
Not because I wanna die—
I'm just tired of living in fear.

Tired of proving I'm enough,
Tired of fighting to be seen,
Tired of giving everything
And wondering what it means.

But then I hear my daughters,
And everything gets real.
Those little voices remind me
That I've still got something to feel.

Verse 4
So fuck the ones who doubted me, I’m still standing here,
After everything I lost, after everything I feared.
You can bend a man with pressure, you can break him with lies,
But sometimes pain becomes the reason that he survives.

I ain't asking for a crown, I ain't asking for a throne,
I just wanna make a life where my family feels home.
I wanna wake up beside the woman that I love,
Kiss my daughters in the morning, thank the heavens up above.

Until that day comes, I'm gonna carry what I carry,
Even when the road gets dark, even when the load gets heavy.
They can judge me from the outside, they don't know what I've survived,
They don't know how many times I had to rebuild my mind.

Every step got harder, but I took another one,
Every door that closed just made me kick another one.
Maybe life's been trying to teach me something all along:
You don'
